Devotees approach a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne decorated with red and yellow flower garlands and white draping. The seated person wears an orange robe, a long flower garland and a large ornamental pendant, with long dark hair, and holds a fruit in one hand while another hand is extended toward a child. On the left, an older man in a pink shirt and a woman in a yellow-and-green sari stand, and beside them an older woman in a grey shawl and a woman in a green-and-blue sari with a pink-clad girl hold fruit forward as offerings. A tray of offerings sits on the right. Behind them, more people in white clothes stand near a white-covered table.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes wears a multi-coloured flower garland with yellow and red blooms and a rudraksha mala, laughing as he reaches to take an apple from a woman in a green and teal sari with bright border. He sits on a red velvet seat before an ornate gold carved backrest. Beside him a woman in orange sari and beaded mala holds a red metal bowl, and a camera operator and other onlookers stand behind in a red-draped tent. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland and mala matches the Swamiji (probable) cues, so he is identified by appearance only, and he is seated in a ceremonial setting receiving an offering.

A man in a grey-striped shirt and glasses stands behind her, and a man in a white shirt and grey trousers is nearby. To the right, a young man with a shaved head wears an orange dhoti and a beaded mala, holding a silver tray. Several other people in orange dhotis with white body markings stand around the room, and a tray of red apples sits in the lower right foreground. a person candidate is visible in the centre, shown by his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold garland. He is receiving a fruit offering from a devotee.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, wearing a multi-strand garland of gold beads and pale pink shell or bead pendants and a red bindi, sits before a blue draped backdrop decorated with yellow and pink flower garlands. A woman in a maroon sari with turquoise border, red hair flower and a red bangle-like wrist item stands at right holding a small red item, gesturing toward the seated figure. A man in a white shirt with a yellow shawl kneels at lower left beside a wooden tray holding flowers or sweets. A woman in a cream top stands at left beside a vase of yellow roses and a plate of sweets. An older woman in glasses and a light sari sits at far right. The scene reads as a devotee darshan setting.

A photograph of a darshan at a red-draped tent. A bare-chested figure with long swept-back hair, an orange turban and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a red cloth, holding out a hand to a devotee and taking offerings from a woman in a red sari and gold jewellery. Nearby stands a young man in orange robes wearing a long gold chain and a rudraksha-style necklace, guiding a devotee bending forward, while a man in a dark shirt reaches in with a fruit. A gold ceremonial staff rises in the foreground, and women in saris and devotees in orange and red crowd the background.

A photograph of a seated man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style beads, a gold chain and an orange-saffron garment smiles as he reaches to accept a red fruit offered by a woman in a red and green sari with a flower in her hair. Behind them, a man in a green checked shirt holds a fruit, two young boys in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand nearby, and a man in white stands in the background. A wall clock and a yellow-cream room complete the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man with distinctive saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate gold-toned adornments, receiving an offering.

Indoor satsang scene. A figure with long dark hair in a bun, wearing a rust-red wrap, a white-and-blue beaded garland and rudraksha bracelets, sits on a cushion beside an ornate gold lion-headed seat and holds a red fruit or ball toward a bald, bearded elder in orange robes with folded hands. Behind them, women in orange and cream saris stand with palms pressed together, and a woman in a white shawl bows at right. A ceiling fan and cream wall frame the room. The seated figure bears distinctive adornments and clothing cues, so this is a probable appearance-based match for a person seated in a teaching role, though identity remains uncertain.

A photograph of an outdoor temple shrine. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron robe and sits on a stone platform, holding a red apple while a woman in a patterned red-and-cream sari offers him a second apple. A shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl stands at left, gesturing, while another man in white with a yellow shawl stands behind. Behind them is a golden ornate altar with marigold garlands, brass lamps and offering plates, and a white-bearded figure in orange robes, seemingly a statue or portrait, sits in the shrine.
